MXR M80, professional, rugged, reliable, versatile, etc.

Using the McMillen 12 step with an old Roland JV1010 with vintage keys card (includes Moog bass sounds) and more recently using a Moog Sub Phatty with the 12 step. Minitaur supposed to be good too.

I have used the Roland PK5's to good effect with the smaller Roland module JV1010. With the Vintage synth board there are some good Moog bass pedal sounds. I then graduated to the Moog Taurus 3's which were the bees knees, but in a custom flightcase weighed so much and needed 2 people to move them around. These days I use the Keith Mcmillen 12 step, (available from Juno Records in the UK) It's an amazing bit of kit..... much more flexible than the PK5's, cheaper, lighter, smaller, and I run them into a Moog Sub Phatty. I still have the JV1010 which is an option and I did consider the minitaur which is ideal with the 12 step, especially for its small footprint. Good luck.... Regards, Paul.

Thanks Dood, I need to experiment! Paul.

Most of the time no, but occasionally yes.

I have the above amp driving 2 SL 112 cabs; my question: is it ok whilst using the normal input for bass guitar to also use the return socket for a bass synth? Volume on the return socket seems much lower than the regular input. Your thoughts would be welcome, thanks, Paul.

Started using mine with a Moog Sub Phatty........Wow! Really hits the spot... and its good to be able to use your hands sometimes.

Hi David, I am using the 12 Step coupled with the Midi expander box driving a Roland JV1010 which is quite an old synth unit, but it has the vintage synth board which gives me some Moog bass settings. But yes I'm sure you can find the same bass pedal sounds plus more thru apps etc., e.g . Animoog and Fairlight app. Good luck, Paul.

Sold my MM Stingray to David. An excellent transaction: excellent communication; a great person to deal with. Regards, Paul.

Certainly use my thumb and fingers for damping on some basses more than others and especially at high volume. Tend to rest thumb on E string, and when playing E string use thumb................ Maybe check out Anthony Wellington at The Aguilar Loft Series.............. Regards, Paul.

Can anyone tell me about this bass, played by John Poole of Lifesigns. Clearly the headstock says Squire Precision. It has p/j pick up configuration. Some of the sounds he got out of it last night were amazing. Sounded very much like a Ric at points. Were these standard issue or do you think it a bit of a custom job. Any comments would be welcome. Regards, Paul. [attachment=167910:Squire Precision.jpg]
